[Detailed study of the structure of simian adenovirus genome DNA and identification of its sequence in transformed cells].

The paper describes physical maps of SA-7P DNA drawn with the help of XhoI, HpaI and BglII enzymes. DNA nucleotide sequence in the left side of the viral genome was found to have the length of 150 nucleotides. It contains codon for initiation of protein synthesis and coincides in this area with the known primary structure of Ela operon for human adenoviruses Ad5, Ad7, and Ad12. Study on the cells of two lines transformed by fragments of SA-7P DNA showed DNA of these cells to contain elements of the viral genome in different numbers of copies.
